Glenburn Tea Estate

Glenburn Tea Estate

Glenburn is a heavenly little plantation retreat located on a hillock above the banks of the River Rungeet in the Himalayas, overlooking the mighty Kanchenjunga range. Glenburn was founded in 1859 by a Scottish tea company and later passed into the hands of one of India's pioneering tea planting families – The Prakashes. Over the years, one of India's pioneering tea-planting families has come to be known as the "Chaiwala family," which literally means "tea planters."

The Chaiwala family's storey dates back over a century and is intertwined with that of Indian tea plantations. Today, the Prakash family's third and fourth generations carry nearly a century of tea knowledge in their ancestors, and they invite you to experience this legacy at Glenburn.

The "tea estate" experience was inspired by vineyards in Europe and other parts of the world, where visitors can watch the wine-making process, sample the wine, and shop for wine, local crafts, and produce. They found the entire experience to be educational and fascinating, and they were inspired to open their own tea estate for tourists who are curious about how a tea leaf ends up in their tea cup.

This project would not have been possible without the hard work and ingenuity of their Glenburn Tea Estate Manager and his team of local workers who transported everything to this extremely remote location with amazing results.
